Started taking diane 35 on monday, the first day of my period, but i realised it was in the wrong section, active instead of placebo. should i take the placebo i should have been on today or ditch it all and start a new pack with my next period?

Birth control: It is important to take one active pill per day to rely on the pill to be effective. If you have been taking them incorrectly then condoms should be used for two weeks. Start taking them one active pill per day now.
